Fe-55


We have a researcher that is going to start using Fe-55 for some transport
assays. I am not very familiar with this nuclide and was hoping I could get some
specifics on it. The Rad Health Handbook states "Mn x-rays, continuous
bremsstrahlung to 0.23" MeV (occuring at 0.004%).
How would one detect this. Gamma spec, LSC? Could you use a NaI or G-M survey
instrument in the lab to survey? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help.
